Thanks, Joe. This is a good question.

The AndyMark people on the design team for our robot in three days effort do not know the 2014 FRC game. We do have a head start in knowing about the Kit of Parts drive chassis (aka. AM14U), and parts in FIRST Choice.

Therefore, our team will be using the AM14U chassis and also as many Kit of Parts items as we can to create mechanisms and robot assemblies.

I'm pumped about this effort and excited to be working with a group of excellent designers and fabricators to help make AndyMark create a competitive robot within 3 days. However, I am bummed about not being able to watch the other teams as they build their contraptions. Maybe we can taunt them along their way and have some fun with this!
